Amazing shape has a hardshell case i dont think its the factory case. By all accounts its a 1997. They made these for the japanese market as a test before the usa run to see how they would sell here. So it’s a unnoficial sig but obviously a hendrix mod reversed bridge pickup. I also have a extra mint green pickguard. It is Set up for light strings low action. So be aware if ya play heavier gauge strings you may be in for a set up. But necks great. pleny of life left in the frets. There is some digs play wear but nothing major. Looks cool
